give it to me straight - are there any android alternatives that don't require nerd shit or am i gonna be reflashing bootloaders and macguyvering google play store containers or some shit no matter what? i will only accept nerd shit if it's literally one time and upgrades, compatibility and everything else is no worse than stock (which is a rapidly lowering bar btw) #android #grapheneos #lineageos

@tyzbit@toot.now e/OS/ security measures are not as strong. https://community.e.foundation/t/e-os-and-security-updates/72384 Quote: "Since /e/OS is not a security-hardened mobile OS, it is targeting standard industry practices. Therefore, for a given release on month N, our current work-flow is to integrate Android security patches from month N-1. As a result, in the worst case, it will take up to 9 weeks to roll out the latest available security updates" Also, they are slow for security updates. Also they might not removing all Google services from their phones. They were not transparent about their privicy usage before. https://community.e.foundation/t/voice-to-text-feature-using-open-ai/70509 Try grapheneos is very easy installation and you can do it even using another phone. Give it a try.👍
